Triple shooting in Parkside:

Two men are dead and a third was reported in critical condition after they were shot outside a bar around 1:30 a.m. Friday, on North 52nd Street near Girard Avenue in the Parkside section of West Philadelphia.

Police said officers from the 19th District heard gunfire outside the Mark 5 Lounge, according to NBC10. 6ABC reported that they arrived to find three men lying on the sidewalk.

The wounded men were quickly put into three different police cars and rushed to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, according to CBS3. Fox29 reported that two men, ages 27 and 52, died at the hospital, and that a 23-year-old man was in critical condition.
